I have to maintain a local mailserver on my office environment for enhancing the mail speed. I installed fetchmail for fetching mails from my mailserver. Now all the things are working OK. But because of security prolem I don't have to keep the passwords of the users in .fetchmailrc . Is there any option for giving encrypted password in the password field of .fetchmailrc ...........
Why? User root is you, no? The file is owned by root and placed in /root. The latter directory is already protected against any access other than those by root. As for the file, simply change its rights to 0600.
